Picked Up A Coffee Table The Other Day And Scored A Nice Little Bonus Of Three Adorable Barstools! Status: Available Soon (Just Gotta Clean 'Em Up!).

All I showed up for was a simple coffee table (since I get so many e-mails asking for them) but the seller was dragging these out of the basement when I pulled up. "Whoa whoa whoa! Whatcha gonna do with those!"...Sell 'em to me, that's what! Into the back of Frank they went with the coffee table and off

to work I went.

I got them out of the back of Frank this morning and only had time to clean up one of them a

little. Above is a sort of a before and after. They aren't two pictures of the same stool though.

Just one that hasn't been cleaned and the one I got started on. I'm not finished though. They'll

all get a more thorough cleaning this weekend.

Isn't that a great color?! Is it Coral or Salmon? It's a little pink and a little orange with some

sparkly flecks thrown in just to make sure you notice them. The vinyl is in amazingly good

condition considering the wear on the footrest hoop.

The bases need to be cleaned up and repainted. No problem, I'll hit them with a 3M stripper

and a couple coats of satin black and they'll look super. They're super sturdy and the swivels

are in good shape too! It's funny how many cool barstools I find, yet I hardly ever see a really

Hi Dana. I more thoroughly cleaned the vinyl today and they look fantastic. It was just too cold out today to clean up the coffee table. I'll try to knock that out tomorrow and shoot some pics of it. It's just a sorta standard long low coffee table.

Hi Sara. I looked under one of mine and found the label, they are Dee as well! The vinyl is a little different (yours look like they have more gold flecks, mine have a different texture in the vinyl) but wouldn't they all look great together?

Wow, I used to have a pair or trio of stools very much like that back in the early 1990s (alas, lost 'em in the "these are MY things ,those are YOUR things" of a split. Mine had a black and red almost plaid color vinyl and I loved 'em. Good find Mr. Modtomic!

Hi Mick. Thanks. I was hoping to get the bases repainted over the weekend but just ran out of time. I started working on the dis-assembly of a super long slat bench (that I'll be repainting with the same satin black) instead.

Hi Mick. This one could be used as a coffee table but it's really....really long! I think it's like 8 feet long! You'd have to have a really big living room for that to work. Actually, I'm not sure where I will be able to use it as a bench OR table when it's done because it's so long!
